If the Speed and Damage was increased this would be a very sexy option for a Ret Paladin.

As it stands this is rather pointless.

I can see maybe using this as a skill leveling item. You will get your polearm skill up in no time.

Plus it would be nice with JOL/SOL or JOW/SOW during a fight.

Best leveling weapon for paladin . Make sure you have reckoning .With reckoning you have 8 seconds to make 4 attacks , with this weapon you make sure you use all charges of reckoning .

Consider having a 3.1 speed weapon . in 8 seconds you will probably make only 2 attacks . If you are lucky and reckoning happens at the time of swing than it can be 3 but no more than 3 . So you lose at least 1 extra attack there , probably 2 .

So over all , if you have reckoning and leveling a paladin from 66 to 70 , than this weapon is a must . I also suggest http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24094 2.2 speed weapon for 60-66.

For a reckoning paladin this weapon is just too great .

PS: For 15 sec Vengeance , this weapon is very nice too ; but with 2.3 path Vengeance duration is 30 secs so its alot harder to lose vengeance.

Interesting to note this is easily the fastest 2 handed weapon in the game. Not sure what you might get out of that, but it's true.

Heh, looks exactly like a stretched out Illusionary Rod, which is basically what it is.

Use this to increase your polearm skill on Grove Walkers in Crystalsong Forest.

This is the fastest polearm in the game as of this patch. It is 18% faster than the next fastest weapon. Go to stormspire and buy it from the exotic weapons vendor there.

Then hearth back to Dalaran and hop down into the forest. There are mobs there called Grove Walkers, and they will heal themselves periodically while not doing much damage, and anybody who can equip a polarm ought to be able to deal with the damage. On my pally I just put on seal of light and devotion aura, started attacking a tree mob, and surfed the web while alt-tabbed. I had to do this four or five times but there are no other hostile mobs in the area to bother you, so it should be a brainless task.

Dear Blizzard,

The weapon skillup mechanic is not fun.

Love,

Your devoted and paying customers.

This might make a good Shockadin weapon. It has spell power, stamina, Int, and is 2h- Perfect. The only thing it's missing is Strength.

For those still wanting to level weapon skill fast- I took this weapon along with the rest of the Dalaran White fast weapons into Violet Hold on my Death Knight. Ran into the corner on the right, and would taunt enemies that ran from the portal to the defenders.

Non-stop flow of enemies, you never have to move. I leveled all my weapon skills from 1- 390ish in about 40 minutes.

Fastest 2H weapon in game? After hearing that I just had to buy it and try it out(even though my Death Knight gets no worthwhile benefit from the Intellect or Spirit on this polearm).I equipped it then clicked on unholy presence (increase attack speed by 10%)which changed the speed from 1.7 to 1.52 then flew down and attacked the closest thing possible,which was a Farahlon Lasher (a big walking flower basically).

It is neat to see a 2H swing that fast, and to see it in action it seems like it was made to chop weeds,I mean it swings about the rate you would think you should be attacking a giant flower.The 3.6 seconds on my normal 2H now seems absurdly slow. After trying it out I can say that withthe fastest polearm in the game I no longer have to bother clicking on any of those tiresomeinstant attack buttons; I can just click once on the auto attack button and then stand there and letthe Ethereum Phase-Spear do all the work.

So definitely an amusing weapon; and for a level 66 paladin or whoever could usea 2H polearm with stamina, intellect, and spirit, I would recommend it.

Let it be known that this weapon's blade will hang at the hip, and not stick up in the air like most polearms.

Also the +130 agility enchant doesn't emit with this weapon like it usually does with others.

Using this on a belf female looks silly, due to just how fast she spins it around herself.
